Hi,
i plan to spray paint a car black matte (not the e90) and all i want is temporary look of the car to see how that color looks before i paint it for real.
some say usually 10-12 cans is enough to cover medium size car.

Does anyone have any suggestions what type/brand paint and where to buy from?
i appreciate your help.

Plastidip is the way to go. I wouldn't do it out of a spray can under any circumstances. Spend the 40-50 bucks to get a spray gun on ebay and buy two cans of the stuff. You can do the whole car relatively cheap, and it comes off when you want to remove it.

i have used plastidip and not sure if anyone has done the whole car. again this is a temporary thing. final painting will be done by a pro painter not me.

Yes folks have done it - check the pictures section - a chap there plasti-dipped his in white. At least with pd, if it doesn't look right, you can peel it and start over and you can change the colour as often as your heart desires (hell, in the winter it'll actually protect your paint).

I would stay away from spray paint in cans as the chances of it looking like garbage as quite high...

Please , don't use rattle cans to paint the car . It will look horrible because you can't put it on wet fast enough. You'll end up with a striped look.You'll never get a good idea of what car would really look like done professionally .i hate to say it but get some plasti-dip and a gun from home depot for 50 bucks if you absolutely have to. A tleast it will peel off when you're done.

Wow, plastidip seems to be the choice now that I have seen it so spray paint is out, I'm convinced.
Does anyone have a good understanding how long will the plastidip stay on the car and what's the best way to remove it? Thank you very much.
